How many weeks do we need to keep doing the Nier weekly quest?

[SturmChurro]

I haven't done a single week of this quest as I've never heard of it. So nobody actually needs to do this, I'd say.

I keep hoping there will some rewards at the end of the quest line. They are all pretty quick and somewhat repetitive right now.

I'm just sitting back and waiting to see when people hit the end of it.

The dull story and abrupt ending of the main quest has killed what little interest I had in engaging with this crossover. Unless it pulls some kind of mindblowing final trick, I'm done with it.

I've literally reached the point of skimming through the text. I just can't care about the story. It's so incredibly lackluster and these vague weekly quests feel artificially tacked on just to pad it out even longer.

It's unfortunate as I actually do enjoy the little story that has been developing through the extra quests.. but the quests themselves are some of the blandest and more boring content in the entire game. I guess I don't know how it's going to end but at least what I've seen so far could have and should have been done in a single quest. There doesn't even need to be combat, just have something more interesting than going back into the raid instances again and again and again, and interacting with random sparkly things. Knowing Yoko Taro maybe he's trying to make some sort of meta commentary on the state of MMO sidequests and a players willingness to blindly do them repeatedly just in the hope of some potential impermanent reward.. but I highly doubt it.

This week there wasn't even much to read.

Dwarf 1: "Oh, that guy? Yeah, he's being a jerk. Oh well. Go capture a metal frog for me. Nice job! I totally saw you from here! Go see the chief!"

Chief: "Lali-I'm-here-to-waste-your-time-ho! Yeah, that guy is still a jerk by the way. See you next week! Oh, and you got another email. Kbye!"

I don't know him beyond the FFXIV-related interviews he's given but I wouldn't be at all surprised. He seems so dismissive of the whole thing and willing to troll the players.

I will not be surprised if this deliberately leads to nothing.

*Spoilers for anyone that actually cares about this stuff*




In regards to the Dwarf that's behaving erratically and accusing the others of scheming behind his back to take leadership from him and kick him out of the village, it is heavily implied that he is suffering from Red Eye Disease, which causes the afflicted to become irrational and violent, as seen by his previous outbursts. It is also capable of spreading to others, and is potentially linked to the Logic Virus seen in Nier Automata that is capable of infecting both Machines and Androids.

Said disease made its first appearance in Drakengard 1, wherein the vast majority of the antagonists were characterized by their glowing red eyes and berserk nature, most notably the main protagonist's best friend who attacked him without hesitation once he succumbed to its effects. Red Eye Disease also functions as a form of possession from the Watchers, godly beings that wanted to destroy all of humanity.

So basically, the Dwarf has more or less become a ticking time-bomb that could potentially cause yet another end of the world scenario for the First after they've barely begun to recover from the Flood of Light.

Interesting stuff really, but it's marred by the fact that you'd have to have either played a few of the games in that series, or be willing to go on a massive lore binge to actually get any of these references.

I've just been doing it regardless
this week at least wasnt walk through the raid and pick up same stuff again.

[linayar]

I just hope we get a reward at the end.

I actually hope we don't, or at least it's something I don't want. I'm finishing the quests with this character and then deleting it and going with another character to do Endwalker and I wasn't planning to do Yorha on that character, even if I did enjoy the series.

Same. I don't expect anything big, really. there was ONE big twist in Nier, the same one in Automata, and nothing suprising since in Yoko Taro's games. They can be convoluted, and trying too hard to be meaningful, but I don't think a big finale is planned. It could be the case and that might make the all story better, but I'm not expecting it.

I'm carefully reading each week's quests and I forget about them in the next 5 minutes. While I appreciate weekly content to expand on something, these quests are not a good example.
